Ridiculous I know, but those of you happily married, are your star signs compatible?

Reason I'm asking is that although it is all possibly a load of rubbish, I am intrigued by the number of couples I know who are still together years after meeting, and have the 'right' signs ie leo and sagittarius, virgo/taurus, stuff like that.

I'd be interested to know if this is actually something I'm imagining or if it really does seem to have a bearing.

No idea, I'm scorpio and dh is taurus.

JodieG1 · 24/03/2008 11:20

Dd is Pisces, ds1 is scorpio and ds2 is capricorn.

ib · 24/03/2008 11:20

No. In fact I can go a step further, as my mum is an astrologer among other things and did our full star charts and we are supposed to be totally incompatible.

Have now been together almost 17 ys, and really happy. No-one in my family has ever had a relationship for more than 10...and they all supposedly were compatible!

ib · 24/03/2008 11:24

My mum is taurus, as were her 1st and 3rd husbands....didn't help them!

Psychomum5 · 24/03/2008 11:24

Wellllll........what happens then if you were born on the cusp of two signs???

I was born very early morning on the 21st january. according to most horoscopes I am aquarius, but some make me a capricorn!

DH is a pisces thro and thro.

now, according to same said horoscopes aquarius and pisces clash, yet capricorn and pisces are a great match.

DH and I were set up as a blind date when I was 16 and he 19, and this year we will have been married 15yr, together 19!!.

I would say therfore that I am more capricorn in my personality, yet I reckon I am in fact more aquarius.

maybe I am capricorn most of the month, reverting to aquarius for the PMT week, as then is when we most certainly clash!!!

Elasticwoman · 24/03/2008 11:24

Dh and I are Virgo and Aquarius. No idea if that means we are compatible but we have been married over 25 years with no plans to separate any time soon. (Might murder him if washing up still not done by the time I get downstairs though.)

ingles2 · 24/03/2008 11:28

dh & I are both taureans...
I'm not sure if this should work, 2 stubborn bulls but it does.
We're both creative, loyal, love food and gardening

allgonebellyup · 24/03/2008 11:30

i am taurus and ex dh was scorpio, meant to be a fab match as opposite signs, but no longer together

Have been out with leo and aries men, now avoid them like the plague!

wotsits · 24/03/2008 11:37

DH and I are Virgo and Taurus. We've known each other for 13 years and will be married 11 years this year. I don't know about astrological compatibility, but we have been very happy together, and long may that continue!

pelvicflawed · 24/03/2008 11:39

We're both virgo's birthday's one day apart - not sure if thats supposed to be good or not - we're both really nitpicky about things but in different ways - I like lists and rotines - DH is better about having filing systems and places for things to live - so perhpas we complement each other??? - can get a bit tense sometimes. When I met him though - a very long time ago - he always felt 'familiar' - like a long lost brother (we were friends for a long time before getting it together) - DS is a taurus so hopefully he will get on with both of us!!!!

Citronella · 24/03/2008 14:30

Totally incompatible signs

Libra and Pisces

We lasted 20 odd years (got divorced this year)

We should have split earlier.

belgo · 24/03/2008 14:33

I'm leo
Dh is virgo

Are our star signs compatible?

ladytophamhatt · 24/03/2008 14:40

I'm cancer, Dh is capricorn and IIRC we are compatible on the charts.
I could easily wring his neck most day but we are compatible....

My best pal is capricorn too ( I don't wantto wring her neck though)

Wisteria · 24/03/2008 14:41

I'm an Aquarian and live with a Virgo - incompatible (which is true as we are in the middle of splitting!), xdh is an Aries and possible future chap is as well - what does that mean?

NomDePlume · 24/03/2008 14:41

I have no idea whether or not ourstar signs are compatible. I think astrology is load of bolleaux

No1ErmaBombeckfan · 24/03/2008 14:43

Just done a Google on this - quite spot on!

When we did a compatibility questionnaire with our minister (when we got married) it looked like we had little chance...

Married 9 years next month... and hopefully many more...

lullabyloo · 24/03/2008 14:46

dizzydixies · 24/03/2008 14:46

dizzydixies · 24/03/2008 14:47

ScoobyDoo · 24/03/2008 14:48

ScoobyDoo · 24/03/2008 14:50

Oh interesting do you know why?

filthymindedlurker · 24/03/2008 14:53

Gemini and sagittarius - very compatible
''When Gemini and Sagittarius come together, it can be a truly spectacular match! These partners are highly compatible and although the pair will encounter trouble spots in the relationship, they are often able to work out differences. Sagittarius is an explorer and a pioneer, and Gemini's intellectual approach adds a different dimension to the pair's experiences. Both partners enjoy new sensations. Gemini is more than a little bit flighty and Sagittarius is always looking at everything but what's right in front of them.''

or
''These two get along well because they're both changeable and lighthearted. They're quick-witted, bright spirits on a quest to absorb all the colorful things life has to offer.
Gemini is a gatherer of ideas and Sagittarius a seeker of truth through experience. Together they move at a fast pace, enjoying adventures and letting life alter them as they go.
The physical Sadge might be into more vigorous pursuits than Gemini, but both bring a flexible attitude to the bedroom. It's a promising match because every day will be different, keeping the relationship fresh and very alive.

On the zodiacal wheel, these two are on opposite sides, and they definitely attract. They'll give eachother plenty of space, and not try to cling too tightly. Neither will try to lock the relationship into stale habits, or push for a premature emotional commitment. Their loving style is to hold on loosely, and they can be philosophical when and if it's time to let go. They may even separate a few times, and return to the relationship renewed.

The main difference is direction, since Sagittarius aims its actions toward the future, and usually has a sense of forward motion. Gemini's path of growth is non-linear, which Sadge might interpret as scattered, manic and chaotic. Sadge can help Gemini sharpen its focus and distill what it collects into wisdom. Gemini keeps Sadge from becoming dogmatic, always showing them new sides to a story. The Gemini-Sagittarius couple are friends first, and this can help them through the rough, non-romantic times. It's got the potential to be an enduring match, with new fascinations around every corner.''
